Last but not least: Fly, paving stone, fly!
Heiligendamm is a hot spot at the moment. But if water cannon showers, rubber truncheon treatment or tear gas inhalation are not your thing, but you still want to express your displeasure with the prevailing conditions, you can demonstrate on the Unicef website in a completely safe way.

At the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, some people are once again busy smashing down fences, beating up police officers (and vice versa) and blocking railroad lines. Meanwhile the others are just as busy having dignified dinners and deciding nothing. This not only infuriates representatives of the black bloc, but also many innocent citizens who don't think it's okay how the powerful are muddling along. The UN's children's department, Unicef, has set up a site precisely for this clientele, where you can create your own little demonstrator to stand up for these causes. On Thursday evening, there were already around 3,000 virtual protesters on the site, demanding an immediate stop to globalization, less greed and more rights for children. Let's hope that the G8 ladies and gentlemen at least know how to open a browser.
